Damsel Restaurant.
Yvonne sat down at a reserved table, waiting for the date her father had set for her, classical music was playing in the background and there were only a few people there concentrating on their meal.She glanced down at her watch and sip her red wine, she had been here for close to an hour now, but he was not still here, the people she had met in the past, no one dares to keep her this long. She sips her wine again, her eyes watching the entrance at everyone that enter the door.She heard the glass door open and there the person she had been expecting, dressed in a grey top and black plain trousers, looking handsome and dazzling, her crush, the man she drools over his pictures every time she looks at it, he was stunning.Russeli Walsh POV.I smile when I saw the lady I was going to meet, one other victim I will have to break her heart, she was looking at me with a parted lips, I was sure she was admiring me, I love dressing up for my date, but still, I got my charms to work the magic for me.I drew the sit across her and sat down. "My bad for keeping such a beautiful lady like you waiting," I said softly but I had that smirk on my face, I have purposely arrived at this time, I initially wanted to be here two hours late but I changed my mind."It's nothing, you are very popular, so it is okay for you to be late, you must be settling with your fans, you know, they are clingy sometimes." She spoke with excitement.I rolled my eyes, they always do this time of this, and it was so boring to listen to. "Don't run to conclusions, I was not with any fan, I just slept in," I told her nonchalantly, I don't mind how she feels, it doesn’t matter to me, I knew I was being an asshole, but I hate this type of date and people who make excuses for others."Emm...I just thought." She said embarrassed, I raised my brow, that was a success, I hope she just keeps quiet while we order something, eat, leave this place and never meet again. "But it is too bad that you forgot our date and slept in."I don't care, I ignored her, it's better to make them hurt and leave, but this one seems to be stubborn, I was expecting a splash of water on my face or an angry insult, it was what my other dates do when I offend them, but she seems so cool, which make it less fun."Well...So this is a date." I said indifferently like there was no one staring at me with that sad glance. I picked up the menu book and open it. "Let's order something." I snap my finger and a waitress came close and she was ogling at me with admiration on her face and that goofy smile.I am popular so it was normal to have people look at me like this. "What would you like to be served?" She asked me with a soft voice and I knew she was trying to attract my attention, but my eyes were on the menu book. "I am a big fan of yours." She said softly."Oh." I smile and lift my hands to my chin, making sure to put the facial expression my fans always love."Can you sign on this for me?" She brought out her book and put it on the table next to me. I took out my pen and signed my autograph on her book, she giggled and thanked me. She took our order and left.A few minutes later she served us some food and wine and left. "So what do you want us to do?" I asked her as I sip my wine, I had little appetite and watch her eat her meal softly, I knew she was trying to be careful to impress me."It's a date, so we should be like other couples." She told me and I raised my brow waiting for her to continue. "Let's go see a movie." She opened her purse and brought out two tickets. "Let's also see a music contest after the movie."I curled my lips up with my hands on my chin. "You came prepared." I raised my drink to my lips again taking a large sip."Too bad I am was the only one excited." She put down the two ticket and continue her meal. I smirk, glad she knew, well I love playing my games."I did bring something." My word made her look up at me as I brought out a little box from my back pocket and I hand it over to her."Wow!" She was excited as she opened it. "It's a pretty necklace." She brought out the necklace, it had a beautiful diamond pendant and was expensive. "Would you mind putting it on me?" Her eyes were filled with glitters.Ladies! I said in my head and got up from my chair, this was something I did for all the ladies my dad set for me. I took the necklace and placed it on her neck, she grins and touches it."How do I look, did It fit?" She asked, her hands still on the necklace, I return to my seat with a smile on my face, a face smile. "Yeah, it is pretty." I took a glance at it."I have not experienced any date like this." She started and I lean back on my chair as she continues. "As someone, you don't know, and just met the first day buying a gift that seems to worth more." She said softly.I smirk, this was my moment to give her another turndown. "That’s what I do to every lady I meet the first day." Her face drop, and the excitement and all vanish, I smile in satisfaction, I knew I was a real asshole.Malinda POVI sat down on her desk in the maid room at my bosses house, he had given me a place to stay, even if it was thin, it was still comfortable and plain, a small bed, a desk and a chair, besides it is a little wardrobe, walls are colourful and the whole room smell nice.I was rewriting my boss' son's note. It was difficult to see the part which I spilt water on, but I know I have to finish this up and hand it over to him if I want to keep my job, and whereas I want to stay out of his sight.I heard my phone ring and I saw the caller ID, with a smile I answered, put the phone to my ear, I heard the little voice of a girl I cherish, someone I call my little sister and love. "Hello Annabel, how are you?""I am fine, auntie Malinda and you?" She asked with a little c
Russeli's POV.After she left the hall, I thought it was my moment of victory as I leaned back to the chair, but the whispers I heard in my back made me stop smiling, many eyes were on me and I am sure that they must have recognised me.Girls are just so troublesome, I.wish I had made her leave in a less crowded place, I stood up and went after her.Outside the hall, I saw her walking away. "Yvonne, Yvonne!" I called out but she didn't stop so I ran to her and held her hands.She halts and turns to me in anger. "Why, why are you after me?" She asked me and I sighed in my heart, I had only come after her because I couldn't bear the stare I received inside and she would have just not spoken it out loud that I was using her."Th
Russell POVI opened my eyes and closed them immediately because of the bright light that came in through my window. I turned around and sat up. It was seven in the morning and I was supposed to meet my dad to talk to him today.I quickly got up from bed and saw the cup of water the maid brought, it was still untouched which made me wonder how I happened to fall asleep last night.I could not see the bottle of white wine I took last night, but I know I drank some alcohol, I can't remember what happened last night, I don't like drinking, I hate drinking for what it does to me.I rub my head softly and walk into the bathroom, I turn on the shower and stood on it for a long time, still trying to remember what I did last night, I knew I was angry since she told me she
Russell POVI sat down on the chair in the living room with my legs crossed as I wait for the maid to be out at the sitting with my note, since I had nothing to do today and I was not in the mood to go to one of those boring dates my father do set for me, I decided to have a little bit of fun.I heard a soft footstep behind me and I knew she was the one like the house had only I and her inside. "Sit down." I pointed at the chair at my front when I knew she was close to me enough to hear."Huh!" The words I said surprised her and I looked up to see her face, raising the corner of my brow. She quickly looked at her foot and I smirked, she was one shy little maid. "I am not...""I know you're not supposed to sit down here." I interrupted her before she could finish. "But, s
Yvonne was seen shopping with her father in a big mall, she showed her father the dress she had on her hands. "Dad, how is this dress, I want to wear it on my next date with him." She turned to the mirror."It is gorgeous," Malcolm told her, leaning on the wall, he looked at the happy smile on his daughter's face. "So, have you decided?"Yvonne blinks and turns to him. "Well...dad, I want to give it a try, I might come to love him, even though he is haughty." She grins and picks up another dress."Well, I have seen you want to give it a try, I wish you all the best." Malcolm smiled, this was the first time Yvonne had said she would give a man a try, she had always ended every meeting with a man the first day she met them.Yvonne looked at the mirror with another purple d
Russell POVI sat down in my room the next day as I remembered what Dominic said about helping our maid and how he told me she is pretty. I have not given much thought to it until this morning when I saw her, she was indeed pretty.I also remembered the flashback I had when I was speaking to him and I was sure it wasn't my imagination. I was not one who imagined kissing or hugging anymore. Did I kiss her and when?I left the room and stood by the lobby, leaning on the pillar upstairs as I looked down at our maid who was cleaning the house. I watched her for a long time, I could see her face now that she was not looking down at her feet or speaking with anyone.She does look down when she talks to me or my father, she was a shy girl which made her lovely. I shook my head
Yvonne POV.I got home in anger and threw down everything on my desk. I squatted down in my room for 8n 5 years as I remember what Russeli did. I will never forgive him, even if he is a popular person, I will never forgive him.I brought my knees up and buried my face sobbing, he had played me like 8 was one of his toys like I was a plaything, I look so pathetic now, I was excited when he kissed, I was so excited when he hugged me, only for him to smash it down to me that he felt nothing.Why can't he just tell a white lie? Why does he have to be honest, why then did he ask to meet me, why did he ask me that question. "Oh Yvonne, you look so silly out there!" He was the first person I felt happy to be with, and now he is the first person that hurt me too. No, I will never forgive him. "Never!"
Russell POVTwo days later, my father came back home and was preparing some documents and clothes for his trip to Japan, meanwhile, he had sent his secretary to book him a quick flight for the journey.I walked into the room after knocking on the door. "Dad, is it true?" I asked with a worried expression, my dad who was arranging his bag stopped and looked at me."You heard?" He asked and I nodded, sitting down on the sofa in his room with my head down."How can it go so wrong?" The music which I had just sung a few months ago was going into criticisms and it was not so helpful for the production company."That's what I am going to confirm and probably set right on this trip." My father told me as he sat next to me, he gently
